“Blood Fury Pill…” Snowy muttered softly.
“Huh?”
“He took a Blood Fury Pill before the match. So, he won’t survive whether I kill him or not, ” explained Snowy.
First Elder and the crowd showed a puzzled expression on their faces; they didn’t have any idea what she was talking about.
Only Elder Xian seemed to be agitated by what she said, but he concealed it so well that no one noticed a minute change in his expression.
‘Damn! How could she know about the Blood Fury Pill? If it wasn’t for that esteemed person giving me some of those pills, I’d be as ignorant as the people here!’
The esteemed person Elder Xian was referring to was an expert with an unfathomable strength who he had secretly met in the past. That person never revealed their identity, and Elder Xian didn’t even know whether that person was a man or a woman. That expert was really elusive and mysterious.
When he received the Blood Fury Pill from the expert, the expert told him that no one in the Eastern Region would be able to recognize the pill unless they were also a foreign cultivator from another continent like him.
So, he was quite confident that he would be able to damage the sect master’s faction reputation with his scheme using Xian Bu Yu as his sacrificial pawn.
Who knew it didn’t work out as he intended it to?
Although he was a little bit flustered by the turn of events, he didn’t dare to make any reckless moves, afraid someone would grow suspicious of him and rat him out.
“What kind of pill is that, Snowy?”
“It’s a vicious and forbidden pill! When you consume it, your strength will increase by as much as two major realms above your current cultivation base, but it will burn your entire life force as the price!”
“Hiss…”
Elder Yang and all the others present there couldn’t help but gasp when Snowy gave her explanation.
While they didn’t dare discuss it openly, there were many disciples and elders who secretly whispered to each other.
“What a dangerous thing!”
“I don’t know if something so terrible exists…”
“If it’s true, then it’s more like Xian Bu Yu was courting death to use the pill…”
Elder Xian realized that if he didn’t do something, his effort to accuse Snowy would be in vain. He couldn’t imagine that the plan that he thought was flawless could be easily thwarted by a mere disciple.
“Try to spurt nonsense! What Blood Fury Pill? I’ve never heard of that pill before!”
Elder Xian mistakenly believed that Snowy only recognized the pill due to her background.
From the information that he had gathered, just like Elder Yang previously, he had been assuming that Snowy was coming from a hidden family, or perhaps an ancient family, and she might have heard it from her elder.
It never once occurred to him that Snowy may know how to prove her claim.
So, he tried to discredit Snowy and at the same time plant some doubt in the minds of the people.
“Even someone as learned as Second Elder had never heard of those pills?”
“It looks like First Elder is also as clueless as everybody else.”
“Is the pill mentioned by Sister Snowy even real?”
The crowds were once again whispering to each other, but this time it seemed that a lot of people had begun to have doubts about the credibility of Snowy’s word.
Second Elder was ecstatic on the inside because his move had proven to be quite effective.
“It’s not surprising that you don’t know about this pill because its main ingredient cannot be found in the Eastern Region.”
“So do you mean the pills come from another continent?”
Snowy didn’t agree nor disagree, her silence was already the answer.
Elder Yang, Lin Ming, Zi Ling, and Feng Xue subconsciously looked at each other, and they immediately understood. It seemed that they thought of the same thing.
It’s just like what happened in my (the Feng) family.’
Other people didn’t know about Patriarch Feng’s accident, so they became even more doubtful of Snowy’s claim.
The pill they knew nothing of, the mention of another continent that was only mentioned in the old records and legends.
What Snowy said was so fantastic that they had a hard time believing it.
“Anything she said sounded so exaggerated…”
“Another continent? Does another continent other than the Eastern Region really exist? Sounds like a lie…”
“What is it now, First Elder? Do you believe the bullshit she said?” said Second Elder with a sneer. He felt that the balance had tilted again and now he had the upper hand.
But what Elder Yang said next caused his confidence to waver.
“If she said something not related to alchemy, I might have some doubts about it. But if it’s about alchemy, then…”
“Why, isn’t she just a brat? Even if she knows alchemy, it’s probably just at the level of an Alchemy Apprentice, so how can she know about the pill that none of us recognize?”
He spoke it so loudly, almost yelling, not only for the spectator to hear but also to convince himself. The words uttered by Elder Yang sounded like a bad premonition for him.
“This time I must agree with Second Elder. Aren’t you trusting her too much, First Elder? I’m not saying that Snowy was lying, but she was too young…” Elder Lan looked at Snowy with complicated emotions.
“Do you remember the sudden increase in Golden Core Congealing pills and some other pills in the sect recently?”
“Of course, and the quality of the pill is way better than usual. Even Fang’er had an easy breakthrough thanks to that pill…. Wait…!’
Elder Lan’s eyes stared incredulously at Elder Yang and then at Snowy.
She had a relatively high comprehension ability as a Nascent Soul cultivator, so with just a small clue, she quickly discovered what was hidden under Elder Yang’s question.
“You wanted to say that she was the one who made all those pills? The Golden Core Congealing Pill is an Earth-rank pill that only a Grandmaster Alchemy could produce, and you suppose I’ll believe it?”
No matter how excellent his ability to conceal her emotions was, this time Elder Xian couldn’t stop his expression from changing.
